Real short since its not ferret related. ISO 9000 is a quality "program". ISO 9000 is fairly generic. ISO 9002 is a manufacturing specific "program". To achieve certification a company must create and follow somewhat rigorous processes and follow them. Outside people come in and evaulate a company for certification. It really doesn't mean the food is "good" but that the manufacturing process is "good". bill has been involved in ISO 9000 programs for high tech companies. Don't know a thing about the food. But a diet suitable for a "lab" ferret shouldn't be much different than a diet suitable for a "pet" ferret. The web page doesn't mention the ferret version. Your post shows a grain base so it doesn't really sound all that good. I'm very sure we will not switch to this product. bill and diane killian zen and the art of ferrets http://www.zenferret.com/ mailto:[log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 2261]
